Mrs. Hagood's Music Room: Teacher Emergency Kit

I have spent a lot of time searching pinterest for new ideas for my classroom. I will probably never have time to make them all, but I did find one that I just had to have.

Teacher Emergency Kit

I found the idea here: http://luckeyfrogslilypad.blogspot.com/2013/03/teacher-emergency-kit.html. As soon as I read this, I knew it was something I had to do. Using her post to give me ideas, I sat down and made my own list of things that I would possibly need to have on hand just in case. Here is what I have come up with so far (and I'm sure this list will change several times before the year is over)...

Medical

Ibuprofen for when I feel a headache coming on
Vitamin C drops for those days I feel a cold coming on
Cough drops for when I forgot about the Vitamin C and actually got a cold
Band aids - especially if you are clumsy like me
Feminine needs for - well you know

Cosmetic

Chapstick -especially in the wintertime
Nail file - there's not much worse than a broken nail
Hand Lotion - also got mine from Mary Kay
Wisp brushes - not quite like a toothbrush but will work in a pinch...really works well to freshen breath
Tide pen - in case I spill my lunch
Foundation - figured I would just open a new one before my old ran out and put the extra that I had left in there
Hair ties - because I'm always needing one
Hair brush - with long hair I have to brush it often or it looks terrible by the end of the day

Miscellaneous

Lint roller
Hand sanitizer - best is from Bath and Body Works
Breath mints
Kleenex
Baby wipes
Maybe popcorn or a couple of granola bars
And of course...lots of chocolate :)

After I made my list I looked over it and noticed it was a really long list, but I'd rather have too much than not enough, so I went to town and bought my supplies (not all pictured). I found the case in the cosmetics department at Wal-Mart.
